I'm not for trusting third party sites or software to do generation, though others may feel differently. I do welcome different views on the wiki Smiley Feel free to register (PM joefox, the wiki admin) and edit, or comment in the talk page.

The bitaddress.org page can be also saved and used in offline mode. To my knowledge it is one of the most popular methods of generating Bitcoin paper wallets. If there is something more popular in the Bitcoin world, then I would recommend using the same method also for your NXT password. There is no need to reinvent the wheel here.

I need help with http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/How-To:GenerateStrongPassword. I've looked at many sites that describe how to generate strong passwords. I find most unsatisfactory.

The example password "Tammy's#18bdayBIGpartyDroppedshibesweaterinpoolGMasonUsoon:(3yearsislong" on that page is weak.

Generating a NXT password is basically the same problem as creating a Bitcoin private key. bitaddress.org is to my knowledge a fairly trusted site. You can take the private key it generates and use it as your password.

The human brain should not be used to generate a password because it is not a good source of randomness.
